Yeah you're right about that one, but Sokal still needs a lynching for the piss job he did on the rest of it anyway.

All of Grim Fandango That 'Pirates Life' song in CMI was pretty fucking great too An "Oy, this is fucking shit" moment would be GTA 3 and its half-baked sequel

I agree that Kate was a bit mute through out the game, but I wish she stayed mute during the fucking telephone calls, those were absolutely brutal. Lets find Benoit Sokal and lynch him! His game sucks.

You know that one part in Syberia when you're trying to get that foreign couple to move their boat? The woman on that boat has the worst voice acting of any character in any game ever created. I challenge everyone to prove me wrong.....I have to go find a sound clip....

I thought it was quite good. I enjoyed the difficulty of it (except for the race level, which I found impossible with the keyboard---so I just used that cheat to win the race) and I loved the music and atmosphere. Plus the facial textures were pretty awesome and the voice acting and story (admittedly a rip-off of Goodfellas and every organized crime movie made before it) were both better than average, with a satisfying--yet abrupt--ending. You know what I just realized. The term "sub-par" means bad, but if you hit fewer shots than par in golf its good right? So what the fuck is that about?

When you think about it, they've been making the game for 5 years. And John Romero isn't on their team. Those two facts lead to the conclusion that the game will be pretty damn good, so don't worry about it and wait until its release.

I think this summer camp trauma might be the cause of your hate for booth babes. But generally I agree that its kind of odd, their connections with the games are tenuous at best; and I can only imagine the akwardness of trying to get one to demo a game when she's never played one in her life, I imagine it would be nervous silence for all.

Well I'm basing my info on the sequel entirely on E3 screenshots, so really my argument holds no merit, its just speculation. But I digress, it might be great, who knows. On an entirely different subject, when I was reading that bit about 'Out of this World' on GBA, or whatever they call it in Europe, something hit me about the nintendo DS. Stylus and Touch screen Flash Memory Cards for Games Plenty of Hardware ability This seems like it will be a great platform for a special edition of ScummVM, one that uses the touch screen for the action and the top screen for the inventory. This is seems like the obvious next step for ScummVM in my opinon.

Just admit it! Not an original bone in its whole body! It may be fundementally sound, it might have wheels, but I want a fucking hover-car damn it. I was only comparing Syberia to DF because of the stories and situation, LJ is much better than Syberia, but its no prize pig. I know I'll cave and buy it, because I'm starved for adventure games, but something not based in a rustic eatern-eurpoean town during winter would be nice. :ratchet:

Don't stop here man! This is bat country!!

Sadly, it seems like HL1 was pretty much the zenith of PC game AI, even HL2 doesn't look as advanced from the videos, which is starnge. But Metal Gear always has pretty good AI, thats what makes it so thrilling on Hard mode when your hiding in a wet box inches from a patrol, you know if you look out of place you're going down. I hope AI starts making advancments soon, because games like Far Cry aren't doing well in that department.

Well I won't get them at the same time, and most likely neither of them at launch, I'll wait till they got established libraries and have dropped in price. But I'm hearing the PSP is going to be pretty fecking expensive (the DS is probably going to be $149), so I'll have to wait and see.

Meh. Games really don't need to have these things. I mean look at what Max Payne 2 tried to do in terms of its love story, it just came of as kind of bizarre. I'm almost embarrased watching polygon faces kissing in a serious manner because its just so forced, so intentional, and so eerily robotic. Plus when you think about it, "stylish" games like Hitman aren't exactly legendary in terms of gameplay. I'd say the aqcuired taste for this kind of obvious in-your-face style is better represented with coming to terms with the over saturation of sugar in Mountain Dew than coming to appreciate the tartness of a wine. Style and Sex are the last things someone needs to have fun...in a game....cough.

It looks hsitty, but atleast its trying something new, I personally think a touch screen is fucking great. And you know that Miyamoto made this thig for a reason, I bet he has fucking crazy (Great) games he's getting ready. The PSP looks cool too, I'll have to get em both. Maybe portbales will replace regular consoles faster than we think.

I agree with that, SS2 was damn scary. BTW your avatar rocks!

I pray they will release it on PC, because I don't want to by or steal a whole system just for one game.

Yeah it looks pretty awesome, although the screens show off the awesome facial detail in that fat guy, thast the most impressive thing I've seen from it.
